VALUES & BELIEFS
Trinity Church exists to make disciples who exalt Jesus Christ and honor God's Word in all they say and do.
(Ephesians 1:22-23; Philippians 1:20-21; John 3:30)
ONE AIM
TWO BASIC BELIEFS
We believe in the authority of Scripture and all it teaches. The Bible is the foundation for everything we say and do.
(II Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe the Gospel is life-changing and it is our job to make disciples. We're driven to share Christ with others and to train believers to follow Him.
(Matthew 28:19-20)
Every member has a unique calling.
God has a purpose for everyone.
(Ephesians 2:10)
Prayer is critical. Pray now, pray often.
Prayer is the way we stay connected with God
and it gives us the power to fulfill his purposes.
(Ephesians 6:18)
We must be guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
We can’t do this on our own, and we weren’t meant to.
(Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 3:14-21)
THREE CORE VALUES
FOUR DISTINCTIVES
We are a church without walls—the church is not the building. We are to live out our faith in every aspect of our lives, not just on Sundays.
We are a church committed to team leadership and small groups. We realize biblical growth is done in community.
We are a church that combines the glory of the old with the promise of the new. We don't get hung up on style, but are driven by the pursuit of Christ.
We are a church focused on taking the Gospel to the four corners of the world, including our own cities. We are committed to share the life-changing message of Christ to the fullest extent possible.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
THE NICENE CREED
We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
THE APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
